What is Tithing?
Spiritual maturity involves expanding your abundance consciousness, leaving behind lack and limitation thinking.
A tithe is 10% of your time and income which is given back to where you receive spiritual nourishment. It’s also a practice of demonstrating to yourself that you have plenty for yourself and that you don’t have to live in a scarcity mindset.
-
Our Tithing Committee formed a Tithing Policy in 2022 which provides more information about our tithing practices as an organization.
It ensures our dedication to making an impact in our local and global communities through programs of outreach and education.
We are dedicated to expanding our message to become a catalyst for change through inspired action.
If you would like to make a request of the Tithing Committee to consider a possible tithe to an organization or individual, please review the Tithing Policy and then complete the request form here.

Two of our 7 core values are Love and Generosity. Since we opened our doors in 1927, we’ve put these values into action by giving over $2.5 million dollars to non-profits and charities.
Here are just some of the ways:
❤️ Annually, we donate to Chapman Partnership to provide meals for over 4,000 homeless men, women, and children.
❤️ $10,000 donated to Global Empowerment Mission for war relief efforts in Ukraine.
❤️ Assisting families who can’t afford school supplies through our annual Backpack Drive (the largest in South Florida) To date we’ve provided over $600,000 worth of supplies.
❤️ Provided life-changing opportunities to hardworking families and their children to help them break the cycle of generational poverty through a $20,000 donation to Branches.
❤️ Free groceries to 3,000+ families in Miami-Dade County through our food distribution partnership with FarmShare.
❤️ During the COVID-19 Pandemic, we supported our community with $80,000 worth of Publix gift cards for groceries and $50,000 to other Unity communities worldwide.
❤️ We care for our planet by planting one tree for every class/workshop/event enrollment. Over 2,000 trees have been planted in North America.
❤️ $15,000 donated collectively to Dunmar Elementary, United Way, and Ayuda.
❤️ And so much more that we don’t have the space to list here.
